Re: 7/31/12 - Reds vs Padres - oh yeah, there's a game today

Headley singles.

tie game.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

These last two days are exactly why I was willing to not rest on the laurels and grab Garza if he were available.

I don't think this is going to become a habit, but it's unsettling nonetheless.

Jeez Homer, and I thought I was being generous.

I don't think these last two days are all on the pitchers. Leake was getting squeezed and both days if you watch, the balls are hit nowhere near the defenders.

Whoever scouted the Padres has the defense positioned all wrong for this team.

Padres need to be given credit. They have a good offense. Doesn't excuse the poor pitching, but still, they are no pushovers.

Homer didn't find some magical solution to make him a really good pitcher. His BB, HR, and H/9 are all the same as last year and it's the third year in a row his K/9 has went south. He's probably due for a couple more of these.
